iPhone 4 on Maxis. Our predictions revised

Ok, we’ll admit it. It looks like we’ve gotten the launch data of the iPhone 4 in Malaysia slightly off. We predicted earlier that the launch has to before puasa month but that is definitely not going to happen.

So when can we expect the iPhone 4 to come to Malaysia officially? Maxis have been dropping clues on Facebook and Twitter saying that the launch is very soon. In fact Maxis via Facebook have mention that it will be August or September.

We’re still banking on an August launch. Reason being, it appears that Maxis is gearing up for a launch very soon. Today Maxis just sent out EDMs to those who have registered their interest to purchase the iPhone 4 online saying that the device “will be arriving in Maxis stores very soon”.

They won’t just send emails out like this for no reason. EMDs cost money ok. So we have a feeling Maxis is working on a launch within this few weeks.

At the same time, we’re keepinga very close eye on DiGi, they’ve been quite but that doesn’t mean that they’re on idle mode. Could the pull a fast one over Maxis and launch the iPhone 4 earlier? Could be but Apple may want bost telcos to launch the iPhone at the same time.

What do you think?
